The best restaurants serving British food in Cherwell South East

We had Sunday lunch was very good and Shannon was very good. She was very helpful. It was a pleasure to eat there, must go again

Came here for breakfast with my partner, we weren’t expecting something fancy but we were disappointed as the staff spent more time talking and on their phones then working. Again we weren’t expecting anything fancy with the food but the cooked breakfast tasted odd compared to breakfasts I’ve had in the past.

Visited with my daughter and dog today for a light lunch after shopping at Bicester village. We had a wonderful friendly welcome to the pub and were able to choose where we sat. Food and drink service was quick and the food was hot and tasty - the lunch menu of a wrap, fries and a drink was well priced. Service was excellent and friendly. On top of all this the pub was really dog friendly with a “dog menu” with chicken breast, sausages and burger bites all v reasonably priced. My dog went for the chicken breast and she loved it! Would definitely return again when in the area. So nice to feel so welcome

Super large shopping center with everything you need for groceries and household items.

Been coming to this pub for years, ‘nowt wrong with spoons’ Management and all the staff Dona great job, Yep as with every spoons it’s cheap and cheerful, gets far too busy and you wish there was more staff. Full of locals which can be an issue especially at weekends but all in all it’s a lovely pub with a nice history Breakfasts- which is all I’ve ever really eaten here apart from the odd curry club are filling, cheap- fiver! And served quickly, what. Ore can you ask for Great for some ales- me and the boyfriend love their guest ales and ipas. Today we’ve tried the exmoor beast and exmoor gold- both went down well, and for £1.99- that price is a steal. Go on spoons, you do yourself proud!!!!!

I would rate 0 if I could. This should not be called a hotel. It is a bed and breakfast without the breakfast. You enter the 'hotel' via a side entrance, which looks vauguely like the pictures. The reception is old, run down and dark, and is not included in the pictures. The property has had a change of ownership - and as of 2023 stopped selling hot food. Could not accommodate a cot bed despite me paying for a room with a cot bed. And in addition to this the customer service is poor. - we refused to stay based on the above and the owner refused a refund. We left and booked holiday inn which is ever so slightly more but far superior. I will be contacting the bank and consumer affairs.

Most of us know that post pandemic many country pubs are suffering due the decline in customers and the current cost of living and every rising water and energy bills. The Plough inn is no exception and times have been hard. Even so, the landlady and her partner have worked tirelessly to try and get back on track. A new Cooker has been installed at a considerable cost and the eating lounge has has a lovely refurb. I went for a Sunday dinner with my partner and the meal was very tasty and my beef was tender and cooked to a perfection. My partner ordered roast chicken which went down really well. For deserts we were presented with a choice of typical English Sunday deserts, served with fresh cream or custard. We also ordered a bottle of red that was complementary with both meats and deserts. " The landlady has just started "Breakfasts at the Plough" every Saturday from 08.00am -11.00 am. Great breakfasts and great prices, served with fresh coffee, teas and fruit juices. The Plough also has live music nights, bingo, and pub quizzes. Plan some tie to drop in and I feel sure you will not be disappointed.

Jamie Oliver's Fabulous Feasts great Italian cuisine service good prices moderate staff friendly nice location 


Absolutely incredible night with the Secret Supper Society for my birthday. Jules has been wonderful to deal with right from my first enquiry. The food was absolutely incredible. Clean plates all round. Amazing flavours with good size portions. Jules and her team were the perfect balance of attentive whilst leaving us alone to enjoy the meal in the beautiful dining room. We'll definitely be back!

The main service area is what it is the reason for this review is the truck wash called today at 1500 told they had finished I've been at 1400 in the past got the same response. I think it's just can't be bothered
